Andrew Morton 643a654540 [PATCH] select: fix returned timeval
With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's
`timeout' argument on return.

We were writing back a timeout larger than the original.  We _deliberately_
round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks
us to.

The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of
timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and
select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which
was passed in.

The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new
timeout value to the old one and was returning that.  It should just return
the new timeout value.

(We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in
time.h.  But this code open-codes it all).
